Idli
Steamed rice cake from South India
Also known as
Idli-Reiskuchen
Idli is a steamed, slightly tangy cake made from fermented rice and Urad Dal batter. Fermented overnight, the batter is filled into special Idli molds and steamed. The result is a soft, sponge-like cake served for breakfast with Sambar and coconut chutney. Idli is easy to digest and protein-rich, making it popular as infant and convalescent food. We stock Idli rice, Urad Dal and ready Idli mixes.
